The magic realism had already started. Sugar skull ghosts and sparks of firework lightning bolts. It was September 10, 2001, Las Vegas. I just had a summer of dreams: airplanes, white tunics, exploding casinos. I left my girlfriend that day. I was going to hitchhike to California across the...

Here is another drawing that was finished a while back but got too busy to post it here (I am on my third drawing since this one was completed). The photo is from the same photographer that took the the picture of the man in a turban, who happen to be a desert herdsman. A man from a wealthy...

This drawing was created based on a photo sent to me by a businessman/photographer that travels the world. The gentleman show here was one of many people the photographer meet while traveling through North Africa.
The turban was a real challenge and as you can see I started to get bored with it....

Again, this one was created to be used for my drawing book and as soon as I can I'll post more. However, if you wish you can visit my website or look for me on...

I know.... It's been a while since I posted anything here . The last half of 2007 was a busy one. Cranking one commissioned drawing off after another. Then the start of this year, I started a project I have been wanting to do for a while. Put together a book on how I draw.
I have been blessed...

2007 has been a busy year! To the point I have had to put off several drawings of friends and models I know, to get these projects done. And for that I can only say to those waiting, I am...

Post your work and...

This latest commissioned drawing was a big one. And yes, size does matter!
This is an actor named Brian Hathaway, who I had meet shortly after I had set up a page on MySpace. Originally set up to keep track with the artists at work (The Bakersfield Californian) several others have found me...

Here is the last drawing to my X-Men series. Originally I was to draw three more but I'm ready to move on to something. I have a watercolor waiting to be finished, of an entry to a English castle and in front of the door way is an empty wheelchair. That should turn out great if I take my time and...

Sorry for the silence folks. I have been very busy with work and so this latest drawing has taken longer than should have. The others were done in a day or two but this one took over a week. Just not feeling up to much of doing anything but I knew I have to finish what I started here.
Not to...

Just thought I would share a series of drawings I have been working on during my lunch breaks and in the evenings once the days are over. Each pencil drawing measures 4.25"x6.25" and are being framed three to a frame. Please let me know what you think of these and what would you like to...

Tonight is the opening show of The Bakersfield Museum of Arts' 2nd Annual Visual Arts show, and one of my drawings was accepted last month for showing. Having not entered a show since we moved out here over 13 years ago (and actually giving up drawing for six years after) this is pretty much new...
